  • Patent number: 11404210
    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to utilizing capacitors stacks with capacitors mounted in a terminal-to-terminal mounting orientation to reduce overall footprint of capacitor arrays for bypass filtering circuits. In an embodiment, each capacitor stack includes at least a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a ground plane interconnect. The first capacitor includes first and second terminals disposed opposite each other. The first terminal provides a mating surface to couple to the second capacitor, the second terminal couples to a ground plane. The second capacitor includes first and second terminals disposed opposite each other. The first terminal provides a mounting surface to electrically couple to and support the first capacitor, and the second terminal provides a mating surface to electrically and physically couple to the ground plane. Accordingly, the first capacitor can be inverted and mounted atop the second capacitor to eliminate the necessity of wire bonds, for example.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes a dielectric filter and a communications device. In one example, the dielectric filter includes at least two dielectric resonators, a first through-hole is disposed between at least one pair of adjacent dielectric resonators, and the first through-hole is configured to cut a magnetic field between the at least one pair of adjacent dielectric resonators. In some implementations, a magnetic field distribution in the dielectric filter may be cut via the first through-hole, so that a magnetic field distribution area is reduced, and a high-order harmonic wave frequency can be increased, thereby improving a remote suppression capability and meeting the specification requirements.
